THE LATE LORD TWEEDSMUIR. as we have done in the past." The secretary of the Federated Women's Institutes of Ontario has sent a letter to the Lady Tweedsmuir expressing our appreciation of her enthusiasm for our ideals and of the active interest which she took in our work. We pledged ourselves to carry on "our educational work and all other activities for the welfare of the countryside", as she has requested, and to strengthen the links which bind the Canadian and British Women's Institutes together. The presence of The Lady TWeedsmuir in England as a life member of the Ontario Women's Institutes will be one of the strongest of these links. The memory of The Lady Tweedsmuir's residence here will ever be a pleasant and inspiring one. We will recall with gratitude her addresses with their wise counsel, the very pleasant hours which some of us were privileged to spend at Government House, and the friendly chats which we enjoyed there and elsewhere.

I have so much enjoyed my association with them here, and, though I have not been able to answer their many kind letters sent to me in the last month, I would like to say how grateful I am to receive them. I hope that the Canadian and British Women's Institutes will always be linked together in the warmest friendship and closest association, and that we shall continue to work as ardently in the future for the welfare of the countryside While (Photo by Karsh, Ottawa).
